• All Things Lead to Frozen and Sometimes Food
    Music Night is one of our most public traditions.  It is certainly the tradition that we have made a point to share with just about anyone who will listen.  We’ve shared it with family and friends that happen to be over on a Friday night, featured it as a party game at our Cesarzfest bash, …
  • Music Night Christmas Challenge
    We are going to play our social media music night a little differently this month. Rather than one topic each week, we are going to play a marathon topic for the month. As a result there are going to be rules above and beyond play in your matching pajamas. The topic for the entire month …
  • If Elle Macpherson Can Do It So Can You
    November in Texas is one of my favorite months.  It finally almost feels like fall.  We can sometimes justify wearing a sweater.  If we remembered to coat them with “Mop & Glo” we still have our pumpkins and fall decorations out, without the ghosts and plastic skeletons.  Granted, some people have jumped the gun and …

  • Sacrament in Place
    I’m going to start by giving a huge shout out to the amazing church family and Sunday School class we have!  When I look at our party invite list well over 70 percent of them are from Trinity Presbyterian Church.  While they might be church people, they are also delightfully fun people. When our church …
